the valley of guises ma is in the so-called zone of molten vulcanism hundreds of years ago narva burst. near this canyon and two volcanoes emerged during the eruption. the valley of guys is between them the magma beneath still heats up the layers of rock and water streams thermal energy cracks the ground making curious forms of hydrothermal activity like steam pits pot holes in guises which are erupting in springs. scientists have defined their activity into four stages. water from a water bearing lay it seeps into the guy's a channel. it's then filled with boiling water part of which begins to spill out.

the guys is rising may start spoiling the steam busts out of the remains in the channel after the guys eruption while the steam rises to the top. is often called the hot peninsula for its various forms of hydrothermal activity. this is one of the few places on the planet where conventional power technology is implemented. the geothermal power station is located to the for. the grounds natural heat is schemes for producing electricity. only sixty specialists member station. is monitoring its automatic systems around the clock and fixing and no functions as soon as they occur. because they are in terms of environment protection it's a very clean production process take steam from below the surface and send

possibility of an earthquake of seven or eight points on the richter scale with devastating effect. it could be triggered by a sudden eruption. has passed the stage of forming at caldera. a gigantic. lotion occurred on a stop some thirty thousand years ago there wasn't a part of that or a polish come judge again stands on deposits left over by the blast on my watch inskeep. good evening you're listening to the simple rules program on the radio today we're going to tell you how to prepare for natural disasters and stay in the light of now we're going to name just three simple rules which are all this easy to fail to report and things to do it on time select the quickest exit from the building in

1:58 pm
and i'm looking at all this and thinking that i'm the only person in the well it could be some very moment is lucky enough to play the flute at a height of three thousand meters. everyone has their own as to why evoke a nose attract people. try to overcome their fear and prove that they can withstand this challenge many enjoy an extreme trip. simply curious and a brave enough to look inside one of nature's biggest and most destructive.
